Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Tuscarora, MD.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue.

Often, clients who battle with both issues at the same time have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need critical medical intervention once they do get alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Tuscarora would include detox treatment which are safely conducted with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
